Amazon Pay, the digital payments offering from e-commerce giant Amazon, has received a fresh fund infusion of Rs 450 crore from its parent entity, according to filings with the Registrar of Companies accessed from business intelligence platform Tofler. The funds have been pumped by the Mauritian entity of Amazon, as per the regulatory filings.

The fresh capital would help the e-commerce giant to fight other digital payment players like PhonePe, Google Pay and Paytm which is backed by Alibaba and Softbank.

The latest infusion takes the total investment in Amazon Pay from it’s parent entity to more than Rs 3,000 crore, since it launched back in 2016.

Amazon which started as a mobile wallet armed with a prepaid payments licence from the Reserve Bank of India has now entered the Unified Payments Interface space. ET had reported in its January 9 edition that the US tech giant was offering UPI payments in partnership with Axis Bank and had managed to go live after it localized its data storage within the country.

While it Amazon Pay has simplified transactions for its own consumers, it is also opening up other payment use cases like bill payments, recharges and shopping via other platforms to enhance the payments use case for its users.
